SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
This Sending Smiles bundle is one I just can’t put down! You can find this bundle on page 14 of the brand new 2022-23 Annual Catalog! There are so many fantastic sentiments in this stamp set but the star of the show are the ‘sending’ dies, which give you both the lettering and word background …
The Let’s Set Sail Bundle is a favorite of mine… so much so that I featured this bundle in my online Stampin’ Bingo Make & Takes back in January and I plan to feature it again (different projects, of course) in our upcoming Spring One Day Retreat in April! Our in-person Retreats take place in …
I love to see punch bundles show up in the new catalogs every time… and this was no exception! This Hello Ladybug bundle is so darn cute! I paired the bundle with a ‘wood’ print from the Heart & Home DSP (the back side of each of the patterned sides is a beautiful ‘wood’ print… …
The Hand-Penned Petals Bundle was definitely on MY FAVORITES list from the new Stampin’ Up! 2021-22 Annual Catalog that was released earlier this month!

This project was super simple …
This Joyful Holly stamp set from the August – December Mini Catalog may have been a little overlooked by some, but it is certainly one that I was able to get a lot of use from. I used this stamp set as an Optional Class for my Fall Retreat in a Box last month. The …

The last project from my October Monthly Card Club, where we featured the Beauty & Joy Stamp Set. I used a little bit of DSP from the Mosaic Mood DSP to coordinate with the In Color card stock, Terracotta Tile. The plant image was also stamped in Terracotta Tile. The planter was stamped in Basic …
Here is another card from my September Club! Inspiring Iris is the stamp set and the frame was from the Heirloom Frames Dies. The DSP is from the Garden Lane DSP and all are from the Annual Catalog! Choosing my color combination (Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam) was easy peezy as the DSP did …
This stamp set, Inspiring Iris is on page 111 of the Annual Catalog. I am not sure why, but this set brings back fond childhood memories! It is has 2-step stamping images and is strikingly realistic. Here is a closeup of the stamps… I embossed the top layer of the card (after stamping the images) …
